Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the stars of Saiyaara, were overnight sensations following the film`s July release. Aneet, who has previously appeared in `Salaam Venky` and `Big Girls Don`t Cry`, recently discussed her acting career, admitting that she had always wanted to perform. She stated that she would lock the door to her room and secretly record auditions while informing her parents that she was studying. She added that she realised she`d have to do it on her own because her parents couldn`t afford to send her to Mumbai to audition for roles.
Aneet Padda talks about her acting journey
Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Aneet revealed, “I always wanted to act. I would be recording auditions and locking my door, telling my parents I was doing homework…I knew I’d have to do this on my own because my parents didn’t have enough money to take me to Mumbai to audition.”
Aneet is from Amritsar, Punjab, and attended Spring Dale Senior School. She earned a bachelor`s degree from Delhi University`s Jesus and Mary College while still modeling for ads.
